tara donovan


Tara Donovan is an incredible artist whose recent exhibition at The Institute for Contemporary Art reflected some beautiful metemorphesis of everyday manufactured materials - such as Scotch tape, Styrofoam cups, and drinking straws - that adopt a kind of biomorphic quality. The images above are of her work with styrofoam cups (top) and fishing wire (bottom). I love her work, and am inspired by the fact that after waiting tables for six years and only quit when she got her first show. There's hope for us all yet.
